Settle Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm goin' down that highway, goin' to another town.
Baby when I find what I'm looking for, well then maybe I'll settle down.
Why don't you help me brother, I'm a stranger in your town
Why don't you help me sister, and then maybe I'll settle down.
Why don't you help me brother, I'm a stranger in your town
Why don't you help me sister, and then maybe I'll settle down.
I worked my way from boston to that san francisco bay
Baby what I was looking for, I couldn't find along the way.
Why don't you help me brother, I'm a stranger in your town
Why don't you help me sister, and then maybe I'll settle down.
Why don't you help me brother, I'm a stranger in your town
Why don't you help me sister, and then maybe I'll settle down.
Never been contented no matter where I roam
It ain't no fun to see a settin' sun when you're far away from home.
Why don't you help me brother, I'm a stranger in your town
Why don't you help me sister, and then maybe I'll settle down.
Why don't you help me brother, I'm a stranger in your town
Why don't you help me sister, and then maybe I'll settle down.
I've worked in the mills of pittsburgh, in the hills of tennessee,
Baby all I want is to find a job that will set my mind at ease.
Why don't you help me brother, I'm a stranger in your town
Why don't you help me sister, and then maybe I'll settle down.
Why don't you help me brother, I'm a stranger in your town
Why don't you help me sister, and then maybe I'll settle down.
Why don't you help me brother, I'm a stranger in your town
Why don't you help me sister, and then maybe I'll settle down.
Why don't you help me brother, I'm a stranger in your town
Why don't you help me sister, and then maybe I'll settle down.
